Pepperdine and Malibu: The move for Imagine a quainl, tree-lined street, beyond which stands majestic stone buildings with green ivy about the windows and porches. In the back of your dreaming mind, you hear a faint loudspeaker and a crowd cheering. It is football season, and the community and students are celebrating homecoming in the traditional style. This is College Town. U.S.A. But Malibu, home of Pepperdine University, is not the typical College Town. Located here since the early 1970s, Pepperdine now houses over 2000 undergraduates on its Malibu campus. Although the university has grown in terms of prestige and respect within the academic community. there was a time when the residents of Malibu would have rather seen the school built elsewhere. Albert Simone, president of the Malibu Chamber of Commerce, agreed that the community's first reaction was more one of apprehension than welcome. He said. When Pepperdine first came here 10 years ago there was little reception for the students. But in the last two to three years, due to the involvement of various Pepperdine fraternities, sororities and student government committees. the community's attitude has changed. Malibu residents are now pleased with the location of Pepperdine and there has been a dramatic change from non-acceptance to acceptance. Waiva Micheletti, a third vice president of the Malibu Chamber of Commerce and manager of the Bank of America's Malibu branch, positively noted, The Malibu community is proud of the fine reputation that the athletic teams hold, and we try hard to show our support. We are looking forward to the 1984 Olympic events to be held up on the campus. We also hope that the fine academic side of Pepperdine University continues to grow and maintain the outstanding reputation it has gained. Most Pepperdine students have gone out of their way to help out in the Malibu community and many have been commended by the local and state government for their voluntary work in sandbagging during the mudslides in 1980. Last October, university students showed their loyalty to the community by directing traffic and assisting firefighters when devastating brush fires hit Malibu. Although many community residents have not had a first-hand look at the Pepperdine campus itself, most are impressed with Smother's Theatre’s shows, ballets, and student productions. Helen Breen, a Malibu resident of many years and assistant box office manager at Smothers, proudly said 50 percent of the clientele is from the local community. Breen said. “For a long time. Malibu residents did not have a place to go to enjoy good live theater nearby, but now they do. Although Pepperdine University and the Malibu community did not evolve together and form a close knit relationship. things are changing. Phil Franklin, an executive with Warner Amex. a Malibu cable company, bubbled over with enthusiasm when speaking of Pepperdine students, personnel and administrators. 1 love the Pepperdine community and am personally excited to see a university that teaches Christian morals and principals. Franklin said. It would seem that although Pepperdine does not exactly have the hometown relationship that many other colleges enjoy, the future for one is brightening as the relationship between community and school balance out. -by BUI High
